A Syrian Alawi man was murdered in Beirut after an online campaign of incitement that lasted for months against the background of his past military service. The young Syrian Ali Alawi Aqel, 36 years old from the Alawi community, was killed in the Hadat area of ​​Beirut while in his car, and his body arrived at the government hospital in Abda. The details of his elimination are not known at this time. Ali was active on social media before he stopped posting about two years ago. The young man was killed following a month-long campaign of incitement led by a number of pro-Jolani social media influencers and media figures. The campaign was launched against the background of the fact that the young man served mandatory military service in the Syrian army before the fall of the former regime, and was known for his activity on social networks even during his service. Julenists continue to circulate photos of the young man in military uniform to justify his elimination, although there is no evidence that he committed a war crime, he was simply performing mandatory military service as required by Syrian law, which applied to more than a million young men during the Syrian war, of all sects. Unlike those who incited his killing, his rhetoric during the Syrian war consistently rejected sectarian conflicts, called for reconciliation between sects, condemned anyone who insulted another sect, and confirmed that their fight was against the "Black Heralds" (ISIS) group, as he used to describe them. Regardless of the young man's political position, Jolonists forget that former members of the Syrian army fought in battles against organizations ISIS and al-Qaeda, battles in which members of the international coalition, including American, European and even Russian soldiers, also participated. It has become shameless to justify killing soldiers who were serving on duty just because they did, without any proof that they committed war crimes against civilians.
